Harry & David Coupons

Harry and David Operations Corp., formerly "Bear Creek Corporation", is an American company that was founded in 1910, when Seattle hotelier Samuel Rosenberg purchased 240 acres (1 km²) of pear orchards in Medford, Oregon.[1] His sons, Harry and David, took the company over upon his death in 1914.[1] The company is best known for beginning the business of mail order direct marketing of fruit, especially through its "Fruit-of-the-Month Club". Their "Harry and David" brand specializes in high-end gift baskets and holiday gift towers. Harry and David added Jackson & Perkins, a mail-order rose marketer, to its brands in 1966. However, Jackson and Perkins was sold to an outside group of investors for $49 million in 2007.[2] In 2008, Harry and David announced its acquisition of Wolferman's [3] and Cushman's. [4] Wolferman's signature English muffins, a market leading recipe dating to 1910, and Cushman's Honeybell, an exclusive rare naturally occuring tangerine-grapefruit hybrid, plus their respective ancillary specialty food lines generated approximately $47 million during fiscal 2007. In an effort to become more green Harry & David has “…successfully moved a large number of catalog customers to [their] Internet site.” Through this they have eliminated over 37 million catalogs “…resulting in paper reduction of approximately 35%, or 9,310,000 pounds compared to [their] 2003 consumption.
